Suicide and euthanasia--special types of partner relationships.

Euthanasia is a controversial and important issue in West Germany, especially given the Nazis' killing of minorities during World War II. This paper concentrates on the joint issues of suicide and euthanasia in the context of the doctor-patient relationship. A new evaluation of suicide prevention and euthanasia, especially as they relate to the training of medical students and doctors, is advocated.

[Contribution to a discussion on the importance of the non-tricyclic antidepressives for the development of a theory of depression (author's transl)].

Clinical and experimental research on antidepressive drugs during the 10 years which elapsed since Kuhn's first paper in 1957 centered mainly around the tricyclic compounds. This gave considerable support to the noradrenaline hypothesis of depression, although it did not furnish any definite proof. Since 1968, reports have been published on the antidepressive action of non-tricyclic compounds, stimulating the exploration of new theoretical avenues. The article discusses briefly the theoretical prerequisite of "emotional integration" as an important factor in depression and of the "double receptors" for parkinsonism, using the development of trazodone as an example.

[Suicide prevention - current practice and theory].

The present situation of suicide prevention is portrayed by an historical outline, and the description of the practice and the theoretical foundations. It is established that suicide prevention was intensified after 1948 through the fundamental practical and theoretical works of Erwin Ringel. The present situation is characterized by the fact that after the initial recovery of desperate persons as patients for medicine, the defamation of the suicidal act by society could be avoided in another manner than by merely classifying it as a sickness. Increasing interest is being granted to political and other suicides who depict suicide as a possibility of mankind. The practical application of suicide prevention consists in the organization of rest-centres, the interdisciplinary participation of various professional groups and the application of various medical, psychological and social therapies. The theoretical foundation includes the theories of early and present psychoanalysis, social science and theoretical learn-oriented psychology. This formation and this global view of suicide prevention-practice and theory today, allow us to draw the conclusion that every physician, psychologist, social worker or other human being who comes into contact with desperate persons applies the most effective suicide prevention when he behaves in a straight forward manner, and is interested unreservedly in a candid, unforced way in the psychic and social conflict situation of the other, allthewhile respecting that person's freedom.
